an English glass manufacturer has
added another to the various novelties
lately brought forward in that line OF
material. This new class Of produc-
ti0ns embraces various ornamental
shapes, and the surface presents a
crumpled appearance, colored with gold,
which is worked into 1t in the process
OF manufacture. The gold surface is
described as not being after the manner
or appearance of ordinary gliding, it
being, as it were a top layer of the
glass, and is brought into combination
with different colored bodies. Some
are worked out in green, and others in
amber glass. The elevation OF the
crumpled shapes admits the light
through, which throws up the tlnge and
adds to the effect.

FARM NOTES.

PRoFEssoR \. BLYTH, OF the
University of Norway, has made some
observations of the climatologicai re-
lation and the distribution of plants III
Norway that Will be Of interest to
botanists, Nearly all the chronological
lines there run more or less IN the
shape of the coast, 80 that the climates
are ranged in bands, the changes being
observed as one goes from the interior
toward the sea, or uice Uersd. In Keep
ing with the same are the variations OF
the flora. The plants may be divided
into groups, wherein the species belong
ing to same group have a somewhat
similar extension, while each Of the
groups is confined to special climatolo-
gicaI conditions, and is found only In

fiora is generally monotonous, but there
are certain places dependent partly, per-
haps, on the character OF the SOIL, Dut
as much upon exposure to the sun and
protection from the changeableness OF
the coast climate, where a rich vegeta-
ton may be found. The flora Is desti-
tute Of peculiarly Characteristic species,
because 1t has como to the country by
immigration after the glacial perolu,
from Otler countries WulCu Wcio iioo
from ice at that time. This immigra-
ton must have taken place during
repeated changes of climate. After
several thousands OF years with a severer
climate that favored the immigration
and extension of nothern and eastern
species, other thousands OF years
followed with a milder climate Dur
ing this period fresh immigrants came
from the south and southwest, compell-
ing the other fora to retreat In this
manner the climate must have changed
several time since the glacial age, and
the distribution of plants must have
changed In accordance herewith. The
periods of variation are reflected In the
present fora, and it Is the former
which led to the great gaps in the
extension OF coast as well as inland
plants. The sunny AGREES, the slate
districts and the most coast tracts are
asylums where the different floras have
found refuge. In the intermediate
parts they have been dislodged by the
newcomers. But certain species, be-
ing Indifferent TO the variations. exten-
